Sadly not I bought in at just over 75.5p in the expectation that divis would soon restart. That didn’t actually happen until 2016 so with the steady fall of the share price I’m still not in profit yet even after averaging down a few times but hope springs eternal
Carlt - Yes I am aware of the 2008 Bank share crash thank you , a good friend lost his pension in that. But I invested eyes open on the expectation of the re introduction of the dividend pushing the share price up as people saw the potential there.
LTI - I’ve always made a point of never ‘over investing’ in any single share. Over my 10 years here I’ve bought and sold at a profit then re invested and I’ve bought in order to bring my average down when the opportunity presented. I’m not too far off break even when I add up the day trading profits and cumulative dividends but I’m about £3500 down on paper according to Hargreaves Lansdown. Let me tell you there is absolutely no way on earth I will ever put any more money into this absolute dog of a share and like nearly everyone else on here once I see blue I’m gone !
I genuinely have no idea what drives this share price. I first bought back in 2013 on the expectation of the re introduction of dividends. I think the share price was around the mid 70’s at that time. The dividends did indeed return but that just seemed to trigger a fall in the share price all the way down to the mid 20’s at one point. I am currently around 35% down on my purchase price so no realistic prospect of exiting without taking a loss. Fortunately I don’t have a huge amount invested here and I can afford to be patient but this has been a dreadful ‘investment’
As someone originally invested in Quindell I have probably held shares in this company as long as anyone. I had high hopes for Metal Tiger but to be fair it’s been a massive flop from my point of view. Over 75% down on our remaining investment which is my wife’s bit which I advised her to add to her isa. I think I got out in profit just about (it was a long time ago) and I convinced my wife to sell half her holding which left her with nothing to lose with only the profit on her original investment left invested. It is that profit element which is now showing 75% down . I live more in hope than expectation that MTR will turn around but I would say this to potential new investors. Think twice before investing in any AIM companies because the reality is often very different to the hype and I say this from the experience of companies like Daniel Stewart going belly up with investors losing their entire holding
All my Lloyds shares are held in my stocks and shares isa which would ensure that should I ever actually make any profit I won’t be taxed on it ! I say that with the caveat that I haven’t actually made any profit yet and am currently about 23% down on original investment !
I post with no agenda I am a private investigator and a long term holder of WRES. My £2.5k investment is now worth less than £100 so I’m not selling but neither am I buying just because the SP is on the floor. I’ve been here before with Daniel Stewart I missed the opportunity to sell at a small loss and stayed for the ride to the bottom when it finally delisted. The shares were transferred to a side account and the name changed to international commodities or something similar where they sat for years. I read recently that they had filed for insolvency. These AIM startups are a gamble and many do fail. I fear WRES will go the same way but I hope not. Only time will tell !
And the hits just keep on coming ! 95% down on my so called investment now although in reality I’d written that money off a long time ago
And I’ll probably be saying it next year and the year after too on current form
I occasionally look at the comments on here as I have the princely sum of £2500 invested in WRES now worth £249 ! Although I think it’s a lost cause I can’t bring myself to get out as I live in hope (rather than expectation) that I might get my initial investment back one day. I remember back in 2013 I think it was when WRES hit 80p a share and I had doubled my money. That seems a lifetime ago now and if only I’d sold and moved on. One thing I definitely won’t be doing is chasing my losses and buying more shares now.
I’ve held my shares since around 2013 currently 86% down on purchase price ! Personally I consider Masterman to be a snake oil salesman. He has zero credibility any more with shareholders. Will WRES ever be profitable ? I have no idea but for what I’d get back on my investment I’ve got no option but to hold and hope.
I’ve held Lloyds shares since they were in the mid 70’s and it was rumoured that dividends would be re starting . I have banked with Lloyds since the 1970’s. I traded them for a while in the early days but havnt done so for a while now. Currently about 33% down on my investment although with early trading profits and dividends received I’m probably near break even in reality. I live in hope for a return to the high 70’s or early 80’s but I’m not holding my breath. I can afford to sit on them currently but I’ve been disappointed with them as an investment. Lloyds are my only footsie share as I concentrate on the AIM generally but have been selling my holdings as the opportunity presents to get out in profit as I have lost faith in shares as an investment lately
I’ve held WRES for a very long time now back to when I recall they reached the dizzy heights of 80p a share. No matter what the good news is on tin prices etc the share only seems to go in one direction could it be that it’s just a rubbish company ? It’s not worth me selling as I’m about 85% down so I wait in hope (but not much )
I’ve been invested in Wres since 2015 and I’m currently 80% down on my holding. All I can do is keep the faith now and hope it comes good eventually
I’m like you bud , approx 500,000 shares at .5 average. Been in this for what seems an eternity and I’m so far down it’s not worth cashing out. One day Rodders we’ll be millionaires ??
Interesting read on uk investor article Bhrd certainly appears to be vulnerable to a takeover at the current low share price although personally 2.88 a share would still leave me underwater
I have emailed investor relations about the current situation and am awaiting a response
Rumours of a takeover have been around for a while but the current opportunity may make it more likely I guess
